Guns, Holsters & Gear reports …

The BATFE have published a list of the top countries which exported firearms to the USA and how many gun were imported from them. Most of these countries have only one, two or three major firearm manufacturers, so it is not hard to figure out how many guns these manufactures exported.

I recently saw the movie In Time, written & directed by Andrew Niccol (Lord of War, Gattaca) and starring Justin Timberlake & Amanda Seyfried. Many of the characters carried in the movie used Glocks with shiny stainless-steel slides. Timberlake can be seen holding one of these Glocks in the promotional poster below.

Ruger has announced a .22 LR version of their Ruger LCR revolver. It is virtually identical to the low-end .38 Special LCR. If you own a LCR-38 or LCR-357, the LCR-22 is the perfect range companion.

Below are photos of the new Gen4 Glocks for 2012. They are the Glock 32, Glock 21 and Glock 34 respectively.

This year was the 125th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty and the 25th Anniversary of Glock USA. Gaston Glock commissioned this beautifully engraved Glock 22 pistol for his personal collection to commemorate both anniversaries.

At SHOT Show next month Glock will be introducing Gen4 versions of the G21 (.45 Auto), G32 (.357) and G34 (9mm). They all use the new(ish) dual recoil spring system. From the press release …

Andrew shot high speed video to compare the relative recoil of the Kahr CW9, CW40 and CW45 pistols. The results are what I expected, but it is always interesting to see recoil compared scientifically.

During the past few days I have been absorbing the data collected during the BBTI Project’s cylinder gap tests. I noticed a strange anomaly. For each of the cylinder gaps tested, as the barrel length increases so does effect on velocity increases (as compared to having no cylinder gap at all), up until a certain point, then the effect on velocity starts to decrease.

A press release from Eagle Imports saying that the BERSA BP Concealed Carry 9mm (BPCC) is now available in the USA. It was first announced back in 2009 and was slated to be imported in the first quarter of last year. I am not sure if it ever made it to the market, or if Eagle Arms are just resuming the imports. Regardless, its now avalible with an MSRP of $429 (all-black model), or $440 for the two tone model (pictured below).

Ruger has a new Ruger SP101 .357 Mag that features a longer 4.2″ Barrel, full shroud barrel, fiber optics front sight and an adjustable rear sight.
